While I didn’t really look very deep into Rift before it launched, I assumed it would be like most modern MMOs and have some form of Achievement system that I could dig my teeth into.

I wasn’t disappointed in that regard.

It’s fairly well known that the Tome of Knowledge is one of the big things that drew me to WAR originally. While the Achievement system in Rift doesn’t have the quantity that WAR‘s Tome had, it makes up for it with quality. The Achievements are pertinent to your gameplay (from hitting milestone levels to completing dungeons), are scored based on difficulty (from 5 points for a basic one to 100 for completing every Dungeon achievement), and even include the random, zany fun ones that we all know and love (make a bunch of squirrels cry lately? I have). Did I mention some of them also give you Titles? Boo-yah!

All in all, not only is it fun to hunt them down, the more difficult ones pay off with a higher Achievement score which more noticeably reflects the effort you’ve put into them than having them all be worth 1 point like in WAR.

This guide is Part 1 of a six-part series for the Defiants and a Guardian set is in the works as well. As Rift is new, I obviously haven’t finished all the Achievements…yet. ;) So these guides will be works-in-progress with more information about how to obtain each one and the best places to do so being added as I track that info down. Feel free to give any tips you may have via the comments and I’ll add them in as well.

Arrange the Shields – To access this puzzle, click the Plaque on the wall at 4540, 2382 then go down the ramp. On the way down, you’ll pass some shields on the wall. This is how your puzzle is supposed to look when complete. Once at the bottom, you’ll find shields surrounded by sparkling buttons. Think of it as rows and columns. Clicking a button on the top shifts the column below it up one while moving the others as well. Clicking a button on the right will move that row to the right one while moving the others as well. (If you just can’t get it, Meritt at riftideas.com made a sweet solver. Just click the shields on their image until it looks like what you’re looking at. The numbers that then show up in green next to Solution represent the numbered buttons to push and the order to push them in.)

Scarwood by Torchlight – 10Find and solve the puzzle in Scarwood.Title: the Light in the Dark

Align the torches to clear a path – Found on the hilltop at (3126, 4427). Climb up the hill just north of Trollblight Caverns to get there. On the east side of the row of pillars are six red crystals, three on each end pillar. Each level of crystal corresponds with a circle of torches. Top = Red, Middle = Green, Bottom = Blue. Each time you use a crystal, it moves its matching set of torches either right or left one spot, while also moving the other sets two spots in the opposite direction. The goal is to end up with no torches between all three sets of columns. If the puzzle is reset to natural state, you can complete it in four moves (top left, mid right, bottom left, top right). If it’s not, work on matching up the red and green sets, then only adjust the blue continuously in one direction until it matches up.

Pit Fighter – 25No one will mess with you, put down all comers and then some at Lotham Strike.Title: the Pit Fighter

Achievement: Impossible! – 10If it was easy everyone would do it.Title: Truth Seeker

Turn in an Unstable Crystal Charge – Pick up the “Find Your Own Truth” daily from Robern Charrette at roughly (4629, 1543) and then head to the cave at roughly (4833, 1688). Once inside you’ll want to look around for the Unstable Crystal Charge (fyi: it’s large, blue-ish and shakes). Once you find it, clear a path from it to the portal in the back right corner of the room. Use the Portal Keystone at roughly (4801, 1775) until it turns Red. This attunes the portal to the beam above Thedeor’s Forge. Once this is done, grab the gem, jet through the portal, fall off the beam and turn in the Unstable Crystal Charge at the Forge Focuser (There’s one on each side of the beam so you can fall off either way. Just look for the sparkly pillar.)

X Marks The Spot – Found at roughly (6415, 7718). There’s really no short way to describe how to complete this puzzle. Basically, you’re attempting to leave the puzzle with only the very middle gem lit up. You do this by clicking one of the lit gems, then clicking a dark gem, thus turning two dark and lighting the previously dark one up. I recommend attempting to do it a few times without using a guide, just so you can see how wild this is. After that, go check out the 18-step Peg Solitaire solution.

Once in the bell tower, make sure all the cages are open. To open/close a cage, click the sparkly button at the top. To herd the bats, jump into/jump+click the bells between the cages. The bats randomly move at the noise. Don’t close a cage unless 2+ bats are inside until you’re down to the last 2-4 bats, then you can knock them off one by one in most cases. In the beginning, it is easy to get 3 bats in one cage for a couple rounds if you’re patient.
